He visits in Rome: the Ostia ruins

Italy is a place in which we can find many very interesting points. To cover Italy is to travel across the time and the history, and to discover corners full of art and of culture, and that speak to us about a really flourishing past. And from Rome, his capital, there is big quantity of places that he is worth visiting, to which it is possible to come in a little time.

If we take the train from the station Pyramid, to approximately 25 kilometers of the city, we will be able to find a place that is worth knowing: the ruins of Ostia, which was the most important port of the Roman empire. Hundreds of years ago, the port was located in the estuary of the Tiber, and from him they were starting and dividing ships.

On having visited it, we can cover the Route Ostiensis, which was joining the city of Ostia with Rome, with a very well preserved stone pavement. It is not difficult to us to imagine too much how the merchants would happen somewhere here with his cars. Also, walking along the area, we will come to some of the most out-standing points: the Forum and the Acropolis (a temple dedicated to Jupiter, Minerva and Juno that was the most important of the whole city).

Also, the spa of Neptune was other of the points on which there was concentrating the social life of the inhabitants of Ostia, who also were coming to the theater. Certainly, the theater is well preserved, and in fact, at present they keep on representing classic works (what better frame that is …)

In some of the better preserved houses, like that of Dioscuri, we can find very well preserved mosaics. In general, the houses of two plants are to the outskirts of the city. During the excavations and over the course of time, there have been different objects that we can visit in the Museum Ostiense, a very advisable visit to learn how there was the life of the inhabitants of Ostia, a place of a very rich past.
